Q. A force-time graph for a linear motion of a body is shown in the figure. The change in linear momentum between 0 and 7 sec is

Dear student
Area between force time graph is equal to the change in linear momentum of the particle.Area below the time axis is negative and the area above the time axis is positive.Area=-12×1×1+2×2-12×2×2+1×1-12×1×1Area=-12+4-2+1-12=4-2=2change in momentum =2 N-mRegards

Ans may be 2.
By finding the area of the graph .
Using signs also
For ex:1st triangle.( Base x height)/2=(1?-1)/2=-1/2.
In the same way calaculate all figures individually and add.
